3. JSK WG Visit• 2009年3月
• This team spent 4½ days in Willow Garage's lab to connect
their existing EusLisp software system with ROS. They were
able to come up to speed and make the PR2 do new things in
only one week. Arriving at San Francisco International Airport
with a basic knowledge of ROS from the online tutorials and an
idea of what PR2 might be capable of, they identified, explored
and integrated ROS packages such as the navigation stack,
face detection, and arm controllers with EusLisp's executive
control and existing libraries
